Two Shadows

V5.5

[Intro – Artist 1] I been running from the daylight, Moon above me, I don’t stay right, Everybody wanna save my soul, But they don’t know what I’m made like. [Intro – Artist 2, low underneath] Let it go… Let it go… [Chorus – Artist 1] I got two shadows walking beside me, One wants love, one wants a body, I try to smile but the dark still finds me, Tell me, who am I supposed to be? [Artist 2 – Harmony/Response] You don’t need saving, You don’t need peace, Give me your heart and I’ll make you complete. [Both] I got two shadows walking beside me, One is you, and one is me. [Verse 1 – Artist 1] I was never good at being innocent, Had a little pain, turned it intimate, They told me I was born for something bigger, Now I’m scared of what that bigger is. I keep my head low, move like midnight, Pretty little lies in my hindsight, Everybody sees the smile on my face, Nobody sees the war on the inside. I don’t need a crown, I need control, I don’t need a hand, I need a road, I don’t wanna be another broken name Carved into the stone where the lost ones go. But there’s a voice when the room gets quiet, Saying, “Why deny it? Why deny it?” And I hate that it sounds like me When it tells me I should try it. [Pre-Chorus – Artist 2] You keep fighting what you are, But I know you feel the spark, There’s a monster in your heart, And it’s beautiful. [Artist 1] I keep reaching for the stars, But I’m bleeding in the dark, If I let you leave a mark, Am I losing control? [Chorus – Artist 1] I got two shadows walking beside me, One wants love, one wants a body, I try to smile but the dark still finds me, Tell me, who am I supposed to be? [Artist 2 – Harmony/Response] You don’t need saving, You don’t need peace, Give me your heart and I’ll make you complete. [Both] I got two shadows walking beside me, One is you, and one is me. [Post-Chorus – Both] Oh-oh, I can’t let go, Oh-oh, but I can’t stay clean, Oh-oh, when the night gets close, There’s another voice inside of me. [Artist 2] Let it breathe. Let it bleed. [Verse 2 – Artist 2] You call it poison, I call it power, You call it madness, I call it ours, You spent your life tryna run from the thunder, I spent mine counting the hours. Every scar is a doorway, Every fear is a key, Every time that you hate me, You become more like me. I’m not the villain in your story, I’m the truth that you hide, I’m the hand on your shoulder When there’s nowhere to lie. So stop acting like you don’t want this, Stop acting like you’re not this, You can paint your soul with gold, But the black underneath is honest. [Pre-Chorus – Artist 1] You keep saying I should fall, Like the fall won’t cost it all, Like the dark behind the wall Won’t swallow me whole. [Artist 2] I’m not here to watch you break, I’m the reason you’ll awake, Take the hunger, take the ache, Let me make you whole. [Chorus – Both, bigger] We got two shadows walking beside me, One wants love, one wants a body, I try to smile but the dark still finds me, Tell me, who are we supposed to be? [Artist 2] You don’t need saving, You don’t need peace, [Artist 1] I don’t want chains, But they look like wings. [Both] We got two shadows walking beside me, One is you, and one is me. [Bridge – Artist 1, stripped down] What if I’m not broken? What if I’m just torn? What if every angel Has a blade under the floor? What if all this darkness Wasn’t meant to disappear? What if I become it Just to prove I’m still here? [Artist 2, close and quiet] Then you’ll finally see, You were never weak. You were born between The wound and the dream. [Final Chorus – Both] I got two shadows walking beside me, One wants love, one wants a body, I try to smile but the dark still finds me, Tell me, who am I supposed to be? [Artist 1] I don’t need saving, [Artist 2] You don’t need peace, [Artist 1] I want the ending, [Artist 2] Then give it to me. [Both] I got two shadows walking beside me, One is you, and one is me. [Outro – Artist 1] I been running from the daylight, Moon above me, I don’t stay right, Everybody wanna save my soul… [Artist 2] But I know what you’re made like.
